"If you're always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.”

Posting on social media is like shouting through a virtual megaphone to every one of your members, or potential members. 

Social media offers the branch a unique way to connect with our members. Sure, you can use it to communicate with members about issues and concerns, but you can also use it to tell our branches story. Through channels like Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, our branch can increase its brand awareness and inform our members of matters and issues that can arise quickly or to assist our Stewards & Reps to getting information properly instead of rumours of gossip that can spread like wildfire over the wide geographical area that we have unlike other Unison Health Trust branches.

We would encourage all those members who are subscribed to our Social Media platforms to be mindful of comments, postings and images that would be posted and ensure that nothing could be used to offend, embarass, distort or be misconstured by both our members and an of the general public who can see the messages.

We would encourage all our memebers to subscribe to our Social Media Platforms and our Newsletter.

This is now contained in DOH memorandum of understanding which we have included below.As the mandate to secure retention of pay parity has been secured it was agreed mass member consultation was no longer required.

Engagement with the PRB has reached its sell by date. ... See MoreSee Less
